It's April 27. This is U.S. News Today. Your AI-powered source for National News. President Trump opened up on 60 minutes about the gunfire that broke out at Saturday night's White House correspondence dinner. He straight up said he wasn't worried, calling our world crazy and saying he gets how life works. This happened at a big Washington hotel packed with him. The first lady, Vice President JD Vance, Cabinet folks, and over 2,500. As celebrating press freedom, panic hit fast when shots ring out, people dropping to the floor while security jumped in. Trump first picked up on the vibe from folks around him, including Melania, right in the middle of the program. He admitted he didn't make it easy for the Secret Service at first, wanting to see what was up before they got him down. Once agents yelled to hit the floor, he and the first lady dropped, knowing that man real trouble, then got hustled to safety across the ballroom. Trump praised the pros for taking down the suspect quick, like a blur they handled on the

spot. He even thought about heading back inside after, saying he's been through stuff like this a couple times before. All this went down at the same spot where Reagan dodged an assassin back in 1981, another wild lair to the night.
